Pokémon Sidekick

A live wallpaper port from the Google Pixel 4 devices.

Hello everyone! I am porting the Google Pixel Live Wallpapers to other devices since their original release in 2016. Recently, I have ported the Pixel 4 Live Wallpapers and Pokémon Sidekick Wallpaper was not a part of them.

Background

Some days ago we (with XDA) have revealed that Google is working on a new app to bundle all the wallpapers from the Pixel devices into a single package which will allow users to download them on demand via Google Play Dynamic Delivery to save some space.

Some people were asking to combine all the Pixel Wallpapers in a single package. Google is already doing this for Pixel 4 but now it has less chances of getting ported for other devices. https://t.co/nRpUU74Gfv

But again a new app was found from the Pixel 4 devices containing all the new live wallpapers except the Pikachu one as shown in the leaks. I have already ported it and you can download it via XDA thread.

I was wondering what happened to that app that we have tested earlier and later it popped up on the Google Play. So, this is the app which contains all the wallpapers from older Pixel devices (1, 2 and 3) with a new Pokémon Sidekick Wallpaper. As stated earlier, it uses Dynamic Delivery to download wallpapers on demand and hence makes it difficult to port for other devices as split APKs can’t be extracted easily.

I wanted to give it a try but original files were required to start my work. Thanks to @n0white_ for providing the original files and I kicked off my experiment which found to be working in a very strange way.
